RSet

Copies a string into another, right-justified and padded with spaces.

Syntax

Declare Sub RSet ( ByRef dst As String, ByRef src As Const String )
Declare Sub RSet ( ByVal dst As WString Ptr, ByVal src As Const WString Ptr )

Parameters

• dst
• src

Description

RSet right justifies text into the string buffer dst, filling the right part of the string with src and the left part with spaces. The string buffer size is not modified.

If text is too long for the string buffer size, RSet truncates characters from the right.

Remarks

Usage

RSet dst, src

Differences from QB

• In QBasic the syntax was RSet dst = src. That syntax is also supported by FB.

Print "-[" & buffer & "]-"

The example above outputs:

-[      91.5]-
